WORK AROUND COVID-19 - I photographed a wedding at this venue for the first time in September 2020 and they di da phenomenal job working around covid! We felt very safe working there and they were really quick to switch from the ceremony to the socially distant reception. Plus the location is great for photos!

BEAUTIFUL INSIDE & OUT - The Pioneers Cabin was the perfect, intimate venue for our winter wedding! This rustic log cabin is beautiful inside & out, featuring a large mantle and fireplace, perfect for exchanging vows. The venue is easily turned-over to accommodate both ceremony and reception, clean, accessible and perfect for our 160 guests.

BOOK LAUNCH - I recently rented the Pioneers Cabin for my book launch and it was absolutely magical! It was an ideal location and the staff were amazing to deal with. I recommend this venue for any event where coziness, rustic appeal and elegance matter. It is a blend of it all!

SERENE & CALMING CELEBRATION OF LIFE - We needed a space for a funeral service and wow what a beautiful place! It was so serene and calming, cozy and warm. You just got that feeling that made you smile even at the saddest of times. It was perfect and had everything we needed. The staff went beyond the call of duty to help us pull it all together in such a short time. Thank you!
